Fantastically rare pairing!!...  

Wonderful opportunity to own two (100% genuine) Roman Lorica Segmentata tie loops discovered in the UK!!...  I was very fortunate in obtaining some of the items listed in the publication:  Roman Buckles & Military Fittings - when a collection of Roman artifacts were dispersed by Andrew Appels, these being examples that do not appear in the reputable publication:  ROMAN Buckles and Military Fittings...
